If I mount the plow on a second drawbar in the correct position, can the "original" drawbar be swung up out of the way enough to allow the plow to function properly?

For some reason I want to put a drawbar in each position on this 1953 Cub and leave them there. Not sure why yet, especially since my plan was to put the Cub-22 sickle on this one and maybe leave it there. I just want to do stupid crazy things with this tractor, and bolt all the stuff on it that I've accumulated over the years.

I must be missing something, You are talking about swinging up the rear drawbar to allow a molboard plow to be used on the front drawbar. No need for a front weight for that. However, removing the pivot locking bolt so you can swing the drawbar up each time you want to make the change is more trouble than loosening the bolts and lifting the rear drawbar off. Not to mention that climbing on and off around that depth lever gets old after a while if you intend to leave it on all the time.

Keep in mind that the key word here is "stupid." Maybe "crazy stuipd" even. Didn't say that there had to be any gain or any sense in doing it... I just have a bunch of parts and accessories I've accumulated, and never got around to installing.

I will not say anything, I am the guy that has a belly mount blade, front mount blade, and carryall on the tractor all at the same time.

does this count? The arm from the lift to the front blade is adjustable to allow me to change it's height, so when I am using the grader blade I just adjust it to clear the ground by 4 to 6 inches, depending on how far I turn the turn buckle. If we are expecting a deep snow, I raise the belly blade and pull the center pin then fold the blade flat and chain it to the hook just above it. I have also modified the lift arm bracket on the carryall so I can change how much ground clearance it has, and can let it all the way down or carry it several inches above the ground even when one of the blades are down. In this particular picture we had just had a late snow that blew and drifted pretty bad, and since I had already set the front blade high I just left it that way and let the front blade roll the top layer, and the belly blade rolled the bottom 4 or 5 inches. I did have a little problem with it piling up between the front wheels, but all it took was just a little jog to the left to get the snow to go ahead and slide out the right side.

You guys are putting front blades and sickle mowers on here... I was just wondering if the rear drawbar would swing up enough to clear the plow and let it work properly if I used a second drawbar instead of relocating the original.
